I’m tired of living in a police state too but if drugs are free, one will not be able to walk from their car to the store without tripping over the drugged “homeless” because you know their numbers will skyrocket...

I don’t think so. Vagrancy and loitering laws would still apply, so they can be driven into designated areas where they can ruin their lives without bothering the rest of us. Also, we will save a ton of money on law enforcement, so we could afford to offer them some sort of treatment. My concern is what to do with the violent, militarized police who would lose their jobs. Deprived of their outlet, they could become a real problem.
